Hello,
Yesterday I had my lower left impacted wisom tooth removed at my local hospital.
They had previously taken xrays and I was given the option of either being awake or asleep while they did it, I opted for being awake due to a fear of general anesthetics.
I wouldn't say I was an overly anxious patient, but I was a bit nervous and told the dentist this, he informed me fromt he start that I shouldn't feel any pain, just lots of pressure and weird sounds and I relaxed.
During the removal they had a lot of difficulty removing it, in between me feeling sharp pangs (not major but enough to make me jolt) I had six anesthetic injections throughout, their equipment wouldn't work and half way through I was just sitting there while they moaned about how the equipment should have been ready to go! Didnt do all that much for me relaxing! Anyway, they drilled, cut and pulled for an hour trying to get the thing out and in the end, one of the dentists said that they think they have put me through enough today and decided it was best to leave the bit they couldn't remove. After they had stitched me up she explained that the part they had left in there may not cause any problems and I should be fine, but if it did then I would need to have a general anesthetic to remove it because for some reason, every time they got close to the part that is left I felt pain and jolted.... If it causes no problems I really couldn't care less if it stays there, but my question is, if the part they left behind is the part that I felt pain form when they tried to get to it, does that mean that there is still a nerve in there? I really do not want to go through all this again, the pain is pretty intense and I'm normally quite good with pain! Anyone had anything similar? I would appreciate some advice Thank you xx
